Join The 2009 Deadspin Pants Party

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:00:49 EDT

Look, there are a lot of dumb guys out there who think they're better than you. So are you going to let them keep thinking that....or are you going to do something about it?

You could join the Deadspin Pants Party NCAA Bracket Smasher Awesomeness Pool, correctly pick the winners of 63 NCAA tournament games, and then everyone will know who the real smart guy is. Glory will be your eternal reward as well as a free post on Deadspin, per tradition, and maybe some other prize from the Gawker Media phone closet.

Plus, you will have dozens of internet friends for a minimum of three weekends. And isn't that what really matters?

For You Few Humans Still Paying Attention To Your NCAA Bracket

Leitch — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 16:30:31 EDT

With the end of the NCAA Tournament tonight, that means not only that One Shining moment is upon us, but also that: Hey! Time to wrap up your tournament pools.

By now, most people aren't paying attention to their pools, because most people are already out. But those still hanging around will be more riveted than ever; this is their reward for not being lame like us and picking either North Carolina or UCLA.

In our bracket, it's down to two potential winners.

If Kansas wins: "McC 2," by "S. McCormick," is all set to claim the crown. Impressive.
If Memphis wins: Either "Bob Knight's Bookie," by "T. Stehney," or "Oy with the Brackets," by "B. Woodall" will win, depending on the tiebreaker.

Out of 3,472 brackets, that's not bad. Remember, the winner gets an autographed copy of God Save The Fan — actual value: $0 — and a free post ... actual value $3.90. Good luck, y'all.

Last Chance To Join Pants Party Tourney Pool

We are just more than than hour away from the beginning of this tourney business, so, you know, if you want to join the Deadspin Pants Party Pool, this is your absolute last chance. Remember: If someone gets every game right, they get to take over Deadspin. So much more valuable than that $11 million prize other sites are offering.

We've said this already, but we feel obliged to point out our Final Four picks, once again: North Carolina in the East, Texas in the South, Wisconsin in the Midwest and Duke in the West. That is officially the first time we haven't had at least two No. 1 seeds in our Final Four. So, you know, we're screwed. We did a radio interview the other day in which we compared our picks with a four-year-old. The kid picked Butler because "she likes butts." It is impossible to argue with that logic.

But yes: Get in the pool. Last chance, people.

Final Hour For Deadspin Pants Party Pool

Leitch — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 12:00:10 EDT

All right, kids, we're just more than an hour from the beginning of this whole NCAA tournament business — Who has Maryland-Davidson fever? We do, we do! — and this is pretty much your last chance to Join The Deadspin Pants Party tournament pool. As of this typing, there are 3,315 people in the pool, which, uh, is a lot. But we want more, because greed is a vice. Plus, it'll be that much more impressive if you actually win.

Anyway, so get in while you can, because the clock's ticking now. Can you beat John McCain? Bill Simmons' wife? OJ Simpson? We're sure you hadn't even thought yet about the possibility of filling out a bracket until this last minute, so, you know, you should try it, it's fun.

Join The D—-spin Pants Party Pool!

All right, it wouldn't be the NCAA tournament if we weren't overkilling the entire thing with endless previews, discussions, tidbits and, of course ... our yearly tournament pool.

We would have had this up much earlier for you, but something strange kept happening: Every time we tried to save the name of our group — "Deadspin Pants Party" — to ESPN's Tournament Challenge, like we do every eyar, it told us there was an error and that we needed to try again. So we did it again. And again. This went on for about an hour. We asked some friends to try to set up the league under their logins; nothing worked.

Because we're just exhausted enough today to be a little nutty, we, on a whim, named our league "D—-spin Pants Party." And it worked! We hope we're just imagining this and that we're not a banned word on the site, along with "gay" and "TJ Simers." We encourage you to try to load a league with Deadspin in the title, and you can let us know if it's just us. We hope so.

Anyway, what really matters is that our pool is up and running. Join in, kids; the winner will receive a free post on Deadspin to do with whatever they choose, along with whatever other stray refuse we have lying around our apartment. (Say, how about a book?)
